The Gallardo, the new "baby" Lamborghini previously known as project L140, will be unveiled. The aluminum-bodied two-seat coupe will compete with the Ferrari 360 Modena and the Porsche GT2. The price will be around e120,000 plus tax in Europe. The Gallardo has a rear, longitudinally mounted engine coupled with permanent four-wheel drive and electronic stability control. It is powered by an all-new, 500hp, 5.0-liter, 40-valve V-10 engine mated with a new six-speed manual gearbox.

 

The gearbox is mounted longitudinally behind the engine and will be offered with traditional manual command or in a sequential version with paddles behind the steering wheel.

 

This system is Magneti Marelli's Selespeed and was renamed "e-gear" by Lamborghini.

 

The Gallardo is the first Lamborghini designed by Italdesign, though not by Giorgetto Giugiaro.

 

Instead, Giorgetto's son Fabrizio gets credit for his first production sports car.

 

The Gallardo has traditional doors, hinged at the base of the A-pillar, and not the typical scissors doors of such big Lambos as the Countach, Diablo and Murcielago.

 

Production will be 800-850 units this year and 1,300 in 2004.

 

Installed capacity is six units a day or 1,320 per year. But that could rise to eight units a day if needed, or almost 1,800 units a year.

 

In keeping with company tradition, the name of the car derives from a fighting bull breed. The Gallardo breed was established in Spain in the 18th century by Antonio Gallardo and was later bought by Don Antonio Miura, the same Miura used by Ferruccio Lamborghini to name his most famous sports car.

 

Talking points:

 

 

Do not look for the striking roadster version of the Murcielago in Geneva. The roadster was unveiled at the Detroit auto show in January as concept car. Lamborghini won't take it to Switzerland so as not to overshadow the Gallardo.

 

 

What type of vehicle will Lamborghini's third product be? An internal debate is ongoing. The most likely solution is an extreme sport-utility to rival the Porsche Cayenne. The idea of a four-seat coupe seems to have lost ground.

"Registro Lamborghini" is an independent association founded by Automobili Lamborghini SpA with its own Statutes and Regulations. It was established with the following purpose:

 

1. To certify the number and which Lamborghini vehicles currently preserve their original state of manufacture.

 

2. To compile the "Registro Storico Lamborghini", a prestigious volume archived at the Company premises in Sant'Agata, listing all cars in their original state of manufacture.

 

3. To appoint as Members of the "Registro Lamborghini" those owners: a. who send to us an application with complete details of their Lamborghini vehicle. b. whose application is subsequently authorized by the Technical Committee as a vehicle conforming to the original and official technical features specified by the factory. Those applicants who meet the criteria requested will be authorized to receive an exclusive Membership Plaque attesting the originality of their vehicle.

 

4. To organize an International Meeting every year in the various countries where Members are located.

 

5. To provide members with discounts on spare parts and technical maintenance at the Restoration Centre in Sant'Agata.

 

The Founding Members of the Registro Lamborghini will meet to decide to which positions they are to be appointed in March. Subsequent to this the Statues and Rules & Regulations will be published. In April the application and entry forms will be made available. Further examining the entries, the Technical Committee will call those vehicles entered to the first Technical Inspection which will be held on 9/10/11 May during the 40th Anniversary Celebrations.

"...will be a convertible Gallardo towards the end

of 2003, with a Gallardo race model (perhaps a GT)

soon after that, the factory will again start a

championship like with the Diablo GTR, but using

Gallardo derived models, not based on the Murcielago !

 

At the moment a 4x4 model is being finalized, based on

the Cayenne/Tuareg chassis."
